The Future Needs You

Join our talent pool!

We’re building a talent pool of artists, a dynamic network of fearless, original visionaries to be considered for upcoming paid opportunities, testing, focus groups and commissioned activations throughout 2025 and beyond.

Are you are an artist, designer, facilitator or creative technologist who understands the power of culture, storytelling and innovation to inspire change? Do you thrive in spaces where art meets activism, heritage meets future-thinking and community sits at the centre? We want to hear from you.


No More Gatekeepers

Because the system wasn’t built for you..

You didn’t become an creative to fill out funding forms or wait for gatekeepers to approve your dream..that’s why we do things differently. We aim to find SMARTER, more strategic ways to recruit. 

We’re building a friendly flexible creative collective for collaborations, projects and commissions, so that when a project comes up, we can reach out to the perfect person for the job quickly. 



Times Are Changing

Help us fill the world with experiences that matter..

Technology is moving fast, to protect your livelihood, it’s the right time to pursue alternative ways to fund, create, distribute and validate your work. We understand being an artist is hard, it’s staggering that 91% of artists earn less than £10,000 a year from their practice* and 70% do not earn a living wage from their work to be financially sustainable.

We’re here to change that. This talent pool offers FREE resources so you can learn how to grow your creative business, figure out what new technology works for you and start to put your back end admin on autopilot, so you can do what you love without the overwhelm.

Let’s be straight with you, this is not for you if..

  • Your not tech curious, or a visionary artist
  • You feel like you know enough about the industry and will figure things out on your own
  • You’re not ready to start your own journey right now
  • You have never invested in your creative career

Since digital transformation has accelerated we know a fair amount of artists have missed out and experienced disparity and inequity in the traditional art, cultural and entertainment industry. An example was the hype around NFT’s, digital equity and concerns around AI and the challenge to find a trusted resource to make informed decisions around how best to incorporate tech into your personal business practice. Our aim is to help artists work SMART stay relevant and develop their creative business. We break everything down in simple, human language.

No tech jargon. No pressure. Just what feels right for you, at your pace, with step-by-step guides and support from artists already using these tools.

Doing “okay” today, isn’t ownership or sustainable in the future. The fact is, the old legacy systems and ways of working are changing faster than the industry can keep up with.  Fund raising, galleries, brokers and agents are all making profits from your work before you do. All the same pain points remain and won’t until you do. From the risk of copyright infringement to ownership of your audience and customer. Our aim is to build long-term creative sovereignty for independent and under-represented artists that opens new doors to community-backed, globally connected income streams.

We understand. That’s why we have opened our talent pool.  It can be stressful juggling paid work and creative opportunities. We want to break the cycle of underpaid gigs and patchy funding, by giving you the tools, visibility and community to start growing a sustainable income.

Applying to join our talent pool allows us to access artists faster, diversify and shape our creative edge and as a perk working with us, we offer additional value to help you multiply your income, not drain it. You’ll gain real strategies to create, fund and grow your work, even with zero budget.

Alternatively, you can stay in the loop and sign up for our newsletter.

You’ll gain tools to build your audience, fund your projects without the uncertainty and time spent on applying for grants. We are transparent and use tech powered by the community to save you money on operational, marketing and back end administrative costs. So you can reduce your time form filling and admin and begin to learn new skills, collaborate and grow your practice. We know this is important to stay informed. You get peer support, early access to commissions and opportunities and a real sense of movement and momentum within a growing community.

Yes!  We’re not only compatible with your existing business, but improve your performance!  We offer workshops, 121 consultation and customised learning paths and challenges that are not exclusive or a replacement of your current processes but align with your specific workflows and career goals.  Our aim is to build upon your existing strategy and help you create and grow your creative business your way.

As a member of our talent pool you will be supported by professionals and experts with decades of expertise across the creative industries so you have an instant network of creatives at your fingertips!  Our team uses a combination of metrics so whatever we do, we can track it’s effectiveness.
